Our annual student work exhibition was held at our North York campus on May 5th and May 12th 2018. Over 300 students participated and had their work displayed in the grand event.

All students from SK to Grade 9 in both Happy Mandarin and Standard Mandarin categories took part in this exhibition, and showcased their learnings in a wide variety of format including drawings, stories, poems, posters, comics, letters and picture books. Parents and visitors were very impressed by the achievements of our students and highly appraised the quality of teaching offered by TMS.

The Year of the Dog came on Feb 16. Toronto Mandarin School held various events to celebrate the lunar new year with families and friends.

At the weekend school, more than 600 people attended the event on Saturday, Feb 10. The theme of the event is named the “Carnival of the Year of the Dog”. The crowd was wowed by the students’ performance and the traditional lion dance. This year we also invited students and staff from different sites to perform on the stage. 14 market stands were festively decorated, where students learned how to make dumplings, practice Chinese calligraphy and brush painting, make traditional arts & crafts, or bought New Year items, home-made food, fresh fruits and candies. There was also a playing station for preschool children to play fun interactive games. Many staff, students and parents dressed up in traditional clothing and made such a festive scene.

Children at four preschool sites（JINGBAO Bilingual Children’s Center) all dressed up in beautiful festive colors, performed songs and dances for the parents and guests.

Students from our Adult Training Center threw a big Spring Festival party on Friday, February 3. We learned how to make dumplings from the scratch. Everyone received a red envelope for good fortune in the new year.

A graduate of Beijing Language and Culture University and later OISE of the University of Toronto with professional training in Teaching Chinese as Foreign Language, Suellen is an enthusiastic teacher with years of experience in teaching Mandarin in China and overseas. Her class is always packed with fun and creative activities and her students are fully engaged and enjoyed the new experience of learning Mandarin.

Our experienced instructor, Ms. Lauren Liu (Liu Laoshi), delivered a fun-filled workshop with great enthusiasm. Ms. Michaella Lavarini, the Community Liaison Coordinator, gave high marks to the event. “It was so much fun! I was totally engaged in Lauren’s class!

JINGBAO™ Bilingual Montessori School held its first Open House on Friday, Oct 13. More than 20 families came for the visit and shared a great night with our team.
Parents were pleased with high interest while touring the brand-new facility and exploring the programs.
One parent said “I have been looking for such a program for my child and this school is exactly what want my child to be in. I believe young children are natural language learners. In this school, not only my daughter can learn three different languages, but also other subjects such as art, math, music, and science.”
Families were also invited to sample our nutritious meals and snacks that were freshly cooked/prepared on site.

Two groups, ten agents including the top sales performers started their first Monday class on October 17th, 2017.
